If fans could collect and mail in four proofs of purchase with their name and address, they could get a “Secret Star Wars Action Figure” from the upcoming Star Wars Episode 5 mailed back. One of their promotions included collecting the proofs of purchase from current Star Wars action figures and mailing them in. After A New Hope, they made a killing with their exclusive rights to a suddenly hot property. Kenner Toys was one of the only toy companies that agreed to produce Star Wars action figures and other toys prior to A New Hope’s release. This included promotional mail in fliers for certain new characters. The totally unexpected, unprecedented success of Star Wars encouraged Lucasfilm and 20 th Century Fox to ramp up their modest merchandising campaign before the release of Episode 5. The long enmity between the two species would lead Bossk to indulge a long standing grudge against Chewbacca. As had been Trandoshan custom for centuries, he began his career by hunting Wookiees. Bossk began training to be a bounty hunter immediately. Perhaps that was why Cradossk gave Bossk that name, since it means “devourers his prey” in the Trandoshan language, Dosh. He was the first in his clutch to hatch from an egg and immediately after hatching, he devoured each of his unhatched siblings. The Hunt was their entire tradition and most of the named Trandoshan characters throughout Star Wars media are mercenaries, slavers and bounty hunters.īossk was born the son of Cradossk, who was the leader of the Bounty Hunter’s Guild. Such features applied to sentient beings influenced their cultural focus on strength and hardiness. They’re sentient reptilians with infrared sight and the ability to regenerate severed limbs. The Trandoshans are one of the nastiest species in Star Wars, at least compared to any normal sense of human decency or morality.
